Jan from Design Attractor sent me two posters. One we keep and one I would love to give away. So this wonderful poster is looking for a new home. Just leave me a comment till the 10th of April and Mister Kay will pick a winner. Also have a look at Jan's etsy store.

Before we went to the Japanse Market on Saturday, we had a quick trip to the flea market. I was lucky to find this vintage fairy tale cookie tin from Verkade ( a dutch cookie company). I always liked fairy tales, there is a nice Grimm fairytale website.

Now is the time to work in the garden, so we have a little paradise in the summer.Mister Kay has lot''s of new plans for the garden, guess I''m still a bit lazy in the moment, lol.

Melissa from New Zealand sent me some seeds a couple of months ago. It will be fun to see if they grow in this part of the world. Also we will be going to Kent in couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to visit the car boot sales because I do not just buy vintage there but also flower seeds and my fav tomato plants.

I promised my friend Sonofu, we would find a way to raise money for the earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan. So I had some postcards printed at Kaartje2go and they where so kind to sponsor me (many thanks, guys!)

Now let's hope we will sell them all on the weekend. I will keep you posted.

The weather been so nice today that I started to do my terrace although it is not my favorite job. This year I will go for a lot of birdcages and ginger pots (I love that dark green color). On the weekend I will get some flowers for my pots.
I guess in a couple of weeks we can have dinner and coffee in the garden again.

We all know Mister kay is a wizard with paper. Yesterday at the Siebold Huis he was very much in his element. To show their support to all the people of Japan they where making 1000 origami cranes. In Japan the crane is a symbol for a wish coming true.

It was our first flea market this year. The weather was great and there where a lots of people. It was fun and if you look at the photos you can see that we are really into 60s portable radios at the moment.

So what did we buy...

A vintage blue portable radio from the 60s (Pinguin U62 de Luxe) and a 50s painting.
Guess we are bringing back the color blue in to our home.

I have been glued to the TV, watching all the news about Japan.
My heart is going out to the people of Japan. I have some good friends there, which I know for a long time.
I'm trying to get in touch with them (no luck in the moment).
